"After Russia announced force majeure to stop supplying Germany with their contracted gas now Germany has learnt a bitter lesson not to toe US line blindly:
The entire German predicament is truly funny!
First, in view of the impending energy crisis, the Germans decided to dig coal to generate electricity. The good news is that Germany has coal, so don't worry. The bad news is that there are no mining machines. The coal mining machines were sold to China as scrap iron, long ago.
The good news is that China has mining machines, which are of good quality, cheap, and have a lot more functions than before. The bad news is that there are miners but NO coal workers, and coal miners are extinct in Germany as a profession. The good news is that Ukraine has miners, just in time to accept Ukrainian refugees. The bad news is that Ukrainian miners are all in the east, in the Donetsk, Donbas regions, who are mostly pro Russia.
However there is another good news from China. They have an intelligent mining system, which does not require people, and machines will mine coal automatically. But there was also bad news. The intelligent mining system is made by Huawei, and it has to use Huawei's 5G technology to operate! Germany has abandoned Huawei, years ago!" |
